Chapter 121: Injustice
This is more than ten days.
Xiyan was placed under house arrest in Chenxi Pavilion and lived a chaotic life every day. She was in a very bad spirit, but fortunately she finally came to her senses. Since that night, she hasn't asked Chunxue a word. Others are also tacit. But what kind of punishment will be punished for murdering the prince's son-in-law, she knows better than anyone else. There are very few words from Xiyan, and people are particularly prone to burnout. Often unconsciously, they fall asleep and wake up in nightmares. Every time it repeats, people become more and more sleepy and depressed, emaciated and haggard. Even Chinese New Year's Eve, it's lazy to spend in bed.
The subordinates who served her came back one after another, but no one dared to say more. Everyone knows that today's Chenxi Pavilion is not what it used to be, and the grace and glory of those are also in the past. Those who have a way are trying to get out of here, and those who don't have a way are worried all day long, and they don't even have the heart to do errands. Cai Qi and Cai Shu are still taking care of Xiyan as usual, and it seems that no amount of gossip will affect their mood. Xia Shuang also grew up overnight, not as chattering as before, and much calmer and quieter.
Xiyan was afraid to recall what happened that night, but rather a sharp scream, as if it was always lingering in her ears. Xiyan was resentful in her heart, but she didn't know who to resent her. She blamed Chunxue for hurting Ning Ruo by making a good opinion, but what Chunxue did wasn't it for herself? When did Chunxue start to have such thoughts? Xiyan forced herself to think about it and face it, but every time she got a splitting headache and her heart hurt, she couldn't breathe. She was even horrified to find that she could no longer remember many things from the past. Not only that, but even in the past ten days, she often can't figure out what she has done or what she hasn't done. She spends her days in a trance every day, and Li Xuan has become her only thought.
But he never appeared.
One day, two days, three days...... She became more and more frightened, and often had some strange dreams, sometimes Li Xuan smiled softly, and said in her ear, "Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son", and sometimes dream that he had a hideous face, and his hands grabbed her neck, making her breathless. Every time I woke up, Xiyan's consciousness was blurred, and I couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality. Combined with her recent abnormality, she couldn't help but think desperately, maybe the beautiful love words he said to herself that day, and all the behaviors of protecting herself in front of Eniang, were actually her imagination out of thin air.
In the past, she often longed to be loved by him, and whenever she was bullied and punished, she always hoped that he could come down from the sky and protect her. Is it because of this, over time, there will be a demonic nature in the heart, and some things will be unconsciously imagined?
The more scared she became, the more she hoped that Li Xuan would come to see her, so that she could ask her in person: whether his feelings for her were her own imagination or whether it was true. She has arrived in such a field, there is nothing to scruple about, if everything is true, he loves her and believes in her, that is, he wants her to pay for Ning Ruo's child immediately, and she has nothing to say. But what if she came up with it......
She didn't dare to think about it......
In that case, she thought she would go crazy. She even felt that she had gone crazy.
However, he still did not come.
Every day when he returns home, he will stay by Ning Ruo's side and never leave.
Although it was the New Year, Prince Rui's Mansion was bleak. The story of Fu Jin's miscarriage due to an accidental fall has now spread. Everyone knows that Li Xuan's heirs are difficult, and now that his wife is finally pregnant, and such a mistake is gone, the sadness can naturally be seen. The emperor was also very compassionate, in addition to some rewards that must be given at this time of year, he also gave many precious medicinal materials and asked several imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital who were quite authoritative in obstetrics and gynecology to come to treat Ning Ruo. On the day when the imperial doctor saw Ning Ruo, Li Xuan was specially summoned into the palace, and he didn't know what happened, but when he returned home, his face was even more haggard and gloomy than a few days ago, and he didn't go to see Ning Ruo as usual, but went directly to Eniang's room unusually. Li Xuan stayed inside for a long time, and the subordinates waiting outside the door vaguely heard the sound of arguments and the sound of porcelain falling to the ground, and they were even more frightened and didn't dare to breathe. It wasn't until the prince came out with a calm face that he heard Lao Fujin sigh behind him, "Wronged! β
Li Xuan's footsteps were stagnant, but he still left resolutely.
These days, it is not the first time that the mother and son have quarreled.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Heavy snow seals the door.
Xia Shuang came back from the kitchen angrily carrying the food basket.
"Those guys in the kitchen are really damnable!" She put the food basket on the table with a "bang", and she couldn't help but be startled.
Caiqi pointed at Caishu Nunu's mouth, the other party understood, walked over lightly, and closed the door of the inner room - in fact, it was the same whether it was closed or not, Xiyan didn't pay attention to the movement outside for half a minute, and only sat with a book in his hand.
Cai Shu sighed silently and retreated.
"Look at ...... What is this...... I don't even have a decent meat dish......" Xia Shuang said, and her eyes turned red. What has Gege become as thin......
"The master has a poor appetite these days, so it's better to eat lightly." Cai Qi patted her and comforted, "Don't do this, otherwise the master will see it later, and won't it be even more uncomfortable?" β
Xia Shuang nodded, and hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeve.
A few people were about to put their food on the table, when they suddenly heard heavy footsteps outside.
"Say hello to the prince." The three of them were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly curtsy.
Li Xuan indifferently glanced at the crude food on the table, and frowned almost invisibly.
@@@@@@@@
Xiyan's gaze fell directly on the book in his hand, and he never heard the voice of the girl outside. It wasn't until the sound of the door closing in her ears that she suddenly came back to her senses.
I saw a tall figure standing there. I haven't seen him for many days, and I seem to have lost a lot of weight.
"Smack", the book fell to the ground.
Li Xuan walked up to her and leaned down, picked up the book, and handed it to her again.
She looked at him in a daze, thinking that she was still in a dream, and she didn't remember to reach out to take it, but just looked at him intently.
"Have you seen enough?" For a long time, he asked slowly.
Li Xuan ......" She slowly stood up, her hand covering his cheek, and it was a little real. Is...... You're here. She was so happy that she wanted to cry, but her eyes were dry, and she couldn't shed tears for a long time, so she just grabbed him and was reluctant to let go.
"Yes." He looked sad, but nodded with a faint smile.
"You-"
"Xiyanβ" The two spoke almost at the same time.
"What are you going to say?" Li Xuan's eyes were dark, and he asked in a deep voice.
She wanted to ask him if he had said that he liked herself, and if he would really "hold the hand of his son and grow old with him" with her, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly hesitated, "You...... Say it first, my ...... It doesn't matter. β
